San Miguel de Allende, June 2024 Dear Friends, I'm writing from Mexico - this is our fourth visit since 2020, and these are two friends who've taken us under their wing here. This photo is from an outing on my 74th birthday ! So, to our message and update - this has three parts : First I write - and actually have been writing since I was about seven years old. I started with poetry, and got wonderful encouragement to keep it up, both then and in my teen years. I still write poetry, and try to bring at least something artistic into everything I write. As my life has turned out, I worked in the medical field for 40 years, and my writing took this direction too, first of all with patient education sheets in my time as a psych nurse. I still write in retirement, now on a very wide range of wellness related themes. You can find more than 20 years worth of what I do on my holistic wellness website Living Waters Wellness Why I Write I'm grateful that at key moments in my life I was encouraged to explore, and never told not to have questions about life and my world, or follow them where they led. Because of this I've received many real treasures. At this time in my life, I want to give back as much as I can. Some themes you'll find on my website you really won't hear much about elsewhere. I hope you'll visit these pages, explore them, and that if you like something, you'll share it further. In fact, if you really like something, I hope you'll get in touch personally. Important ideas, thoughts and insights thrive on being explored deeply, and actually need that kind of treatment - so please, come ahead ! Two We need your help. This has a slightly political element to it, but I'll make it quick - please don't worry ! Our news and headlines, as you know, and even our personal conversations today are full of the themes of left versus right, Republican versus Democrat. I feel this is a complete misunderstanding of the situation, and a dangerous one. More of a problem and danger, to my understanding, is a domination of government by economic interests of the largest and most powerful kind, their influence, subtle or direct over our elected representatives and their setting us against each other for their own ends. People on both "left" and "right" have noticed these influences at different times, and protested them sharply. You can decide from your own experience of me whether I'm a wild eyed, radical guy, but my speaking up on social media has gotten me into a lot of trouble. The low point was in October 2019, while we were in Croatia, when I woke to find six Facebook pages - including the one for our business - taken down permanently overnight. Unfortuntely, this hasn't been at all unusual these past five years. I know of dozens of cases where such things have happened, just among people I know. Seventy feet above the ground, on the wall that goes all the way around the city of Dubrovnik. Roswitha was terrified of the height at first, but we walked the whole thing ! This is the end of my tale of cyber surveillance and censorship, which have become so common, even for ordinary people who dissent these days. I've gotten smarter about dealing with it, but if it's not cat videos or photos of my dinner in a restaurant, my reach on Facebook remains badly limited. My request is simple : please visit My Facebook Profile My Page Rights Life Today and Our business Page Living Waters Wellness Products on Facebook, and Like, Share and/or Comment on my Pages and posts as you feel moved to. Thank you - it will be a real service to us ! Three
This has to do with businesses of ours, with products we market, and that you could potentially market too. You're under no obligation to do anything - again I'll be brief, and again please don't worry ! As you may know, we're both retired health professionals, and even before our careers, closely interested in health in the holistic sense. Over time, we've also vetted and used various wellness related products, both to protect and strengthen our own health. We use all products we market ourselves, and as you can imagine, are only interested in the best. The page linked below introduces these products, with links to learn more, either to use them yourself, or to partner with us, and build an income of your own. We've createded some great presentation tools we can share, and at this point in our lives, also really enjoy helping others succeed.

AuthorJeff Smith RN, born 1950. A registered nurse since 1984 - but holistic in my outlook to health since probably around 1968. Living Waters Wellness considers not just the health of the physical body, but our soul and spirit, our social forms, our environment - and as a matter of fact, our whole earth. It's a new website, and a work in progress - but by all means, have a look around ! Archives
